What our partners and learners say
RSL exams are designed to develop confident, independent performers, not just exam
takers. For schools, studios and CCAs, they offer a flexible, internationally recognised
system that fits the realities of modern teaching and learning.
I have been sending students for exams with RSL Rockschool London for at least 10 years, and I’ve always had an excellent experience with the exam registration process! They make everything incredibly quick and smooth, making the whole procedure completely stress-free. The staff were exceptionally responsive and helpful, always ready to answer questions and provide guidance right away. Their efficiency and professionalism truly stood out!
PAA's flexible nature is ideal for-our Performing Academy teaching team and students, meaning we can plan our show exams, classes and syllabus delivery around our many other production projects which is ideal given what a busy community organisation we are!
Great exam board, and a strong calibre of songs included in each Rockschool grade/instrument level Students are especially enjoying the new syllabus with a range of popular songs included.
Since 2006, we have been preparing students for Rockschool examinations, which offer globally recognised qualifications that support musicians’ career development. The Rockschool syllabus equips drummers with strong technical skills and musical versatility across genres such as rock, pop, jazz, and blues. Some of our students have successfully used their Rockschool qualifications and UCAS points to gain entry into prestigious colleges in the UK. In addition, Rockschool’s flexible exam formats accommodate individual schedules and goals, allowing students to take exams at a time that suits them. This balance of academic rigour, musical relevance, and flexibility makes Rockschool an ideal choice for aspiring drummers looking to advance their skills and careers.
The RSL qualifications have given us so much scope as a creative provider. The range and versatility of the criteria and delivery content has been a welcomed change and model that both staff and learners are engaged by.
